I remember Cal saying that if they had a fast break opportunity and MKG didn't get the ball, someone was going to the bench.
MKG?
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
What’s your ego-charged damage?
MKG was a great driver. And he also got called a disproportionate times for charging when he wasn’t charging. But then you always were kinda loopy. So. Carry on.
All these U6 fans that came over here, it’s just disgusting. How many years or games did Russ Smith play in the NBA? Where is Terrence Williams now? What about Wr Braden Smith? What about Shoni Schimmel?
I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I certainly don’t remember MKG being called for an inordinate amount of charges. And I didn’t miss one second of that season. Maybe you watched a different team than me
I recall nothing of the sort. I’m sure it may’ve happened a few times, but there was no issue that season with him getting a “disproportionate” number of charges (whether the calls be good or bad). Hence why he was one of the most effective finishers in UK history.
Maybe you’re confusing him with Archie Goodwin the next season. Now that guy was a charge machine.
The sad part is if they would have left it alone, he would have been a better shooter over time. He was way better at UK shooting than he was in the pros after they jacked his form up. Reminds of weird golf swings like Jim Fuyrk. Best thing that happened to him was no coach early on changing his swing. It was weird but he always got into the proper position when hitting the ball and was a phenomenal ball striker with world class accuracy.
I’m not confusing anything with anything. You’re confusing a mildly humorous situation you were too thick to notice and your own compulsion to be the hyperbole police with being a halfway decent guy.
Icgaf what you remember. You’re the one clearly living in a fantasy land and also thinking it’s your business to berate other posters any time they make a quip you may not be sharp enough to appreciate.
Dude … take a xanex and chill or something.
You’re wrong on this one man. I don’t know how else to tell you that without making you flip your lid.
That sounds like a Webb Wilder songMy father used to say he "was a human bowling ball"
This. Really bad timing for him. League went to 3 and d and he has zero 3. 10-15 years ago, he'd been a borderline all star
He is the fastest forward dribbling from one end of the court, in traffic, to the other than I’ve seen play at UK.
I wouldn’t call him a bust, yeah he didn’t have the career many envisioned but he was solid for 7-8 years. Longer than average just not number 2 level. He had a few injuries and I really believe Price totally broke his jumper. He showed major promise early on.
You’re being a bit charitable saying he was “solid for 7-8 years.” His last couple seasons he was just barely hanging on at the end of the bench. And even the seasons when he got a lot of playing time he was generally considered disappointing (and were for awful teams).
I certainly don’t want to call him a bust, as I loved the guy, one of my favorite UK players ever. But, honestly, that is the word most would use for a No. 2 pick who washed out at the young age of 26 after being waived by multiple teams.
I can definitely see why. I definitely didn’t expect him to be out of the league by now. He’s made his cash tho. I hope he coaches here someday.
No. It doesn’t appear that he’s played anywhere since being waived by the Mavs in 2020. He was in the Knicks training camp the ensuing fall, but got cut before the season started.
Not sure why he hasn’t gone overseas like other guys in his situation do. Maybe he figures he’s made enough and is content to hang it up.
Cal was on record that year saying that if a fast break occurred and MKG was out on it and the team player didn't get it to him that player would be coming out. MKG was the best finisher we've had during the Cal era.
Well if he’s made a hundred million like someone else said I’d say he’s probably set. If he hasn’t blown most of it. Hope he makes good investment’s.
72 million is the correct number. But, yeah, that still should be enough to happily ride off into the sunset.
